2007 SBL Sessions to Highlight 1: The New Testament Mysticism Project

Now that the SBL program book is available on-line, I'd like to call attention to several sessions that I've been mentioning on this blog over the past few months. The New Testament Mysticism Project is a seminar in its second year, and its goal is to map the entire NT in terms of various authors' views of mysticism and their transmission of mystical traditions. It is a working group, only meeting on Friday. Auditors are welcome!

Theme: Mysticism in the New Testament GospelsParticipants have prepared commentary entries which will be discussed in a round table format by members of the seminar. Entries will not be read as formal papers. Instead the time will be used to introduce the entry by the author and discuss it in detail as a group. This is a working group, a collaborative project to write a commentary on New Testament mysticism. For more information, see our website, www.newtestamentmysticism.com.
